Abstract
The aim of this research was to know the impact of the meaningful learning model ,Advanced organizing strategy’ in developing math communication skills for the first grade of secondary school in Yemen.
To achieve this goal, a tool was designed to test math communication skills. After making sure of the validity and reliability of the test, it was applied to a sample of (100) female pupils, who were distributed into two groups; the first was the experimental group which was taught by using a meaningful learning model (advanced organizing strategy), and the control group which was taught by the traditional method. Also, an achievement pre-test of the pupils’ competence in the two groups was conducted to make sure they had equal competence. The statistical software (SPSS) was used during the design phase of the tools and testing of the hypotheses. The study revealed the following results: the pupils of the experimental group who were taught using the advanced organizing strategy outperformed the pupils in the control group who were taught using the traditional method. Both the groups were taught the math communication skills under question in this research which include the skills of knowing math vocabulary, justifying problem solutions and math inferences, explaining and clarifying the mathematical relationships in others’ understanding, representing the relations in different ways, and the skill of using the Mathematics language for description.
Key words: A meaningful learning model , Advanced organizing strategy , math communication skills.
